Rejected and Claimed by her Alpha Triplets

63

~Belinda’s POV

I was pacing in my room, heart racing. The walls felt too close, the silence too loud.

Cecilia should be done by now.

I had told her to poison the food and make it look natural. Lisa would die quietly, and I’d finally be free of that stupid girl always lurking around. I didn’t understand what the triplets saw in her. She was weak, always quiet, and didn’t belong here.

I paused and looked at the hourglass on my table. Why haven’t I heard anything yet?

Then, suddenly, screams.

Loud ones.

Followed by running footsteps and panicked voices echoing down the hallway.

My heart dropped to my stomach.

I ran to the window and peeped through the curtain. I couldn’t see much from this angle, but the noise was growing.

"What the hell is going on?" I whispered and grabbed my robe, stepping out of the room.
